おにぎり “onigiri”, also called おむすび “omusubi”, are rice balls made from rice into triangular, circular, and other similar shapes.They have become a popular food item available at Japanese convenience stores, and in other parts of the world.

I make onigiri every day for my husband to take to work for breakfast.I was just thinking of ways of varying the onigiri so that he doesn't get too bored.I tend to make pretty big onigiri, so if you prefer smaller ones, you can make 2 onigiri with 1 egg. For 1 rice ball. Recipe by Makirin

On a day when I was planning to make onigiri, I cut my hand with a vegetable slicer.Since I couldn't touch the rice with my hands, I decided to roll the ingredients and it was surprisingly good.-A tip is to roll tightly. If it's loose, the rice and ingredients will spill out when slicing.-Salt the rice well. Taste before rolling.-Another tip is to wet the knife after each slice to guarantee a clean cut.

Japanese traditional food. It's sanitary to hold a rice by using plastic wrap.

Rice ball is a Japanese food made from rice and fillings.We put the filling such as pickled plum, tuna & mayo.

You can recreate this prawn tempura just like the product sold at a famous onigiri shop at home, which would be pretty economical.The pickled plum is usually pretty salty, but sprinkle salt if necessary.You can make prawn tempura yourself or just buy at the supermarket. Recipe by Shampoo hat

I made onigiri with buttered rice, which is my kid's favourite.*The mixture is a little bit oily, as it includes butter, so use plastic wrap when shaping if you'd prefer.*If you use salted butter, adjust the amount of salt accordingly. Recipe by Akane

Have you ever watched the Japanese cartoon movie "Spirited Away"? I like that movie. If you have watched it, you have seen the girl Chihiro was eating rice balls. That is onigiri/omusubi!

I thought up a combination that goes well with dashida. Recipe by Ichigopapiko
